DUBUQUE, April 21.-The parade of
| the G. A. r. Encampment was a big
success, over one thousand men be-
ing in line, mostly veterans. At the
afternoon session OF the Encampment
reports of officers were received and
referred to committees. Several on
tests are on hand, and are being
actively c~anvasscd in the lobbies.
The leading ones being OH the choice
| OF next State Commander, location of
next Encampment, and on the pension
question. On the latter award, dill
ferent resolutions were introduced, all
of which we're referred. They on
| denim the action of the President.
| Action on all these matters will be
| taken tomorrow. On the pension
question Commander McHenry spoke
at length. The action of the National
| Committee on Pensions is fully en-
dorsed by the Commander. There is
quite a counter current also in favor
OF the Presidents course. General
Fairchild's order forbiding posts to
respond to the circular issued last
might, is the subject of comment,
nearly all of which is favorable.

OZARK, Mo-, April 21.-The Bald
Knobber situation is becoming more
serious each day. Yesterday Charles
Graves, a prominent member of the
midnight raiders, related a story of
the raids he had attended, giving the
names of the men who had accompan-
led him. He fixed the murder of
George Edens on John Matthews.
In the first assault on Edens house
Edens was shot down but not killed.
After ~ransacking the house the masked
men retired, and Georges mother was
holding his head. While he lay on
the floor a man appeared at the door
and took deliberate aim at the
wounded man, and put a ball through
his head. Graves says he met John
Matthews coming from the house, and
heard him say he was mad because
he had been wounded in the back of
the head, and had returned to the
house to finish the work. George,
